Issue

This was an interview question to me that , is it possible that some changes you made in your code and it is an spring boot application, and without restarting the server you are able to get those changes.? if yes, then how is it possible in spring boot.

I want to know that how is it possible in Spring Boot.?

Solution

Add spring-boot-devtools module to your project, which includes LiveReload server which can be used to trigger a browser refresh whenever a resource has been changed.You can download browser extensions from livereload.com.

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-devtools</artifactId>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>
